Weather station, river temperature and discharge data from the Girnock burn in June-July 2013

Dataset supporting Garner et al. (2014) and Dugdale et al. (submitted).
This record contains data from river temperature dataloggers, automatic weather stations and a gauging station collected between 20/06/13 and 20/07/13.

These data were collected as part of a collaboration between the University of Birmingham and Marine Scotland Science that supported Grace Garner's PhD project. The data were used to model the effects of riparian woodland on river temperature using a process based river temperature model: Garner, G., Malcolm, I. A., Sadler, J. P., and Hannah, D. M.: What causes cooling water temperature gradients in a forested stream reach?, Hydrol. Earth Syst. Sci., 18, 5361-5376, https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-18-5361-2014, 2014. and subsequently to assess the ability of structure from motion obtained from drones to characterise riparian shading: Stephen J Dugdale, Iain A Malcolm, David M Hannah (submitted) Drone-based mapping improves spatial representation of riparian tree shading in river temperature models.
